This assignment is designed to see if you are reading and understanding the material from your textbook. You should not need to do research from additional resources unless the question specifically asks you to do so; you should not be Googling the answers for these questions.

All questions are worth 20 points:
Throughout history there have been constant changes of what is considered to be sexually deviant behavior. Are there any sexual behaviors that are now considered “deviant” that may become accepted sexual practices in the future? Give examples and explanations as to why you think these practices will be considered mainstream in the future.

ASSIGNMENT 2: WEEK 5
HR Headline: Pay for Performance Remains Controversial

“Pay for Performance” has made inroads in business, but has remained a hard sell in public school systems. There are some successful examples where teacher pay has been linked to student test scores. For example, in Minnesota, some districts have stopped giving automatic raises for seniority and base 60% of all pay increases on performance. In Denver, unions and school districts designed an incentive program where teachers receive bonuses for student achievement and for earning national teaching certificates. However, some plans have not worked. For example, Cincinnati teachers voted against a merit pay proposal and Philadelphia teachers gave their bonus checks to charity rather than cashing them. It appears that having teachers involved in planning the incentive system is one key factor to success. The same can be said for all incentive plans – if employees don’t buy into them, they will not work.

Your paper may be based on a business entity of your choosing from the public or private sector and must answer the following Research Questions:
1. How could an organization measure the effectiveness of its pay-for-performance plan(s)?

2. From an employee’s perspective, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using a pay-for-performance plan?

3. From an employer’s perspective, what are the advantages and disadvantages of using a pay-for-performance plan?

The essay topic for this unit is: the effectiveness of topically applied remedies (i.e., essential oils such as CBD oil) in treating internal ailments – real medicine or a marketing gimmick?
The use of topically applied remedies for treating various ailments has been around for tens of thousands of years. Ancient tribes commonly rubbed oils, pastes, and even animal blood on their bodies to treat different ailments, both external and internal. But did they ever actually work and, if so, which ones did and HOW (i.e., the mechanism) did they work?
Today, we are bombarded with companies advertising that they have topical creams, oils, lotions, balms, and pastes that treat internal ailments such as digestive issues, infertility, headaches, sore joints, and impotence. The most common such products on the market are essential oils, which include CBD oils.
When thinking about any medicinal treatment, whether it’s a pill or an oil, there are two key things to consider – (1) delivery and (2) mechanism. Delivery refers to how a drug reaches its target area and mechanism refers to the actual chemical and/or physical way it changes something. As you have learned so far, the cutaneous membrane, or skin, is our first line of defense and is structurally arranged to NOT let substances into the body. The epidermis is composed of hard keratinized cells that are anatomically designed to repel substances and prevent their entry. So, this begs the question – how would topically applied remedies intended for internal ailments ever reach the circulatory system and, ultimately, the intended target?
Your task for this assignment is to research this topic, evaluate the scientific evidence, and determine IF and HOW essential oils, like CBD, are able to penetrate the cutaneous membrane, enter into the circulatory system, be carried to a target site, and have a medicinal effect.
Each student must research the topic and critically think about the scientific evidence that is available. Once you have completed your research, you will evaluate the evidence and carefully craft a concise 600 – 800 word essay response outlining the evidence you found and your conclusions on the topic (i.e., yes there is sufficient evidence or no there isn’t). This assignment is not intended for you to simply convey unsubstantiated opinions on the topic. If you have an opinion on the matter, you must substantiate your position using scientific evidence. You must provide justification for your conclusions and cite your sources of information using APA format.

1) Complete
a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis on the
organization where you work or an organization with which you are familiar,
using the process strategies that we discussed in class.
2) Include
a brief description of the organization ( department of education, 754x jeffrey rapport high school ) with relevant and/or appropriate
information (e.g., purpose/mission, size, number of employees, revenues, etc.).
3) In
outline or chart/matrix format, list 4-7 facts/perceptions for each category
(e.g., strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats.) Please remember that the
facts/perceptions listed must be major issues and/or unique to the
organization; not typical in any or most organizations.
4) Analyze
the SWOT data and use the results to arrive at a conclusion. (For example, although
the organization has more strengths/opportunities rather than weaknesses and
threats, the rapidly declining endowment due to a high spending rate each year,
threatens the fiscal stability of the organization, and in turn, possibly its
ability to leverage the opportunities that do exist.)
5) Propose
some solutions for addressing the conclusion you arrived at based on the SWOT
data.
Guidelines for length of assignment – 12-15 pages

Part I: Documentary Analysis (15%)
Choose one of the following two documentaries to watch & write about:
1.
https://www.nfb.ca/film/shift_change/
2. Paperland: The Bureaucrat Observed. 1979. Directed by Donald Brittain.
Montreal: National Film Board of Canada. Length: 58:00. Available at:
https://www.nfb.ca/film/paperland/ or
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8g6yhxe2gb0 (with closed captioning)
Draw upon three sources from the first six weeks of the course to explain what is
happening in your selected documentary. One of those sources may be a lecture video,
but at least two must be readings listed on the syllabus.

Shift Change. 1986. Directed by Jefferson Lewis. Montreal: National Film Board

of Canada. Length: 56:00. Available at:

You should aim for at least 750 words (which is about 3 pages double-spaced) and no
more than 1000 words. You may focus in on particular sections of the documentary
rather than addressing it in its entirety.
You can think of this as an essay structure, with a thesis organizing your ideas in a
cohesive fashion, and with short intro and conclusion sections that help frame your
interpretation. Because of the word limits, it is not advisable to write long intro and
conclusion sections that simply summarize the body of the paper, nor is it advisable to
take up space summarizing the documentary. Rather, you should focus on making key
connections with the course materials and explaining your terms/concepts.
Your sources should lend some sociological insight into the events/themes depicted in
your selected film. You will want to draw upon course concepts to help explain the larger
underlying patterns (what we might call the social ‘dynamics’, ‘structures’ or ‘processes’)
on display. Be sure to make clear how the perspectives in the different course materials
you’ve selected fit together (or don’t fit together) in your analysis – this can be achieved
in part by a well-crafted thesis statement.
Use of sources from outside the course is not recommended for Part I of the assignment,
and such sources should only be used in exceptional circumstances. See the last section
of this document for further advise on writing.
